And congratulations on your new celebrity status - hopefully your site will get all the exposure it can. I might have to look into one or two of those manuals myself, considering all the fun you all seemed to be having. For Boomershoot, you will want to get in touch with Joe Huffman over at <a href="http://blog.joehuffman.org/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.joehuffman.org/</a> - he has all the details concerning that, though, unfortunately, I think all of this year's firing positions are sold out.

I was actually in that show on Wreckreation Nation. They blurred out the URLs on our t-shirts (after they promised that they wouldn't). We are trying to drive people to our site at <a href="http://restrictedknowledge.com." rel="nofollow">http://restrictedknowledge.com.</a> We sell manuals on how to make a wide range of these types of products. I'm interested in boomershot though. Perhaps we can find a way to work together? Contact me through my site! Hey, nice article.

Not exactly like we are looking to knock down any buildings or anything. From what I understand, <strong>Pistolero</strong>, the minimum recommended optic magnification for Boomershoot is somewhere around 10x, and the minimum caliber recommended is a .30 rifle. From pictures of previous Boomershoots, and picutres of equipment people plan on bringing to this year's, you have everything from rifles that look like they really did just get done with some hunt, to those crazy long-range pistols (Contenders, or whatnot), to something that looks like an automated defense turret out of Half Life. You just have to be able to hit something 350-750 yards away, and there are all kinds of ways of doing that :).

There is a good chance there is a difference in detonation velocity and other particulars but nothing much that matters for our purposes.

Agreed that cheaper is better, so long as the booms are equivalent :). Whoops, sorry about the mistake, and thanks for the correction.

Ignore if desired... It's not Tannerite. It's <a href="http://www.boomershoot.org/general/EG.htm" rel="nofollow">Boomerite</a> which is about 1/8th the cost of Tannerite. Since we use nearly a ton of explosives that price difference is very important. Just nit-picking. Ignore if desired…
